Boo!
Boo PAP!
Welcome to another episode of Coffee Break!
Where we get
the most intellectual people in TSL to talk about current affairs.
Wait, wait, wait!
I didn't sign up for this.
1, 2, 3!
What is this?
Google Pixel!
Wow.
iPhone with a crack.
Is that your phone?
Nevermind.
Oh my God!
Oh my God, it's a real phone!
I thought it was our prop phone.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh my God!
You get to buy the new iPhone!
Yay!
I'll buy you a new iPhone.
Okay, so Apple just launched three different models -
Xr,
ten!
Xs,
ten!
And Xs Max,
ten!
All the reviews and all the news online right, they have been about whether you should get the Xr or the Xs.
Because - okay, a quick comparison.
Xr has an LCD screen unlike the OLED.
OLED screen which is of a higher resolution.
So, Xr is the budget option.
It's like - you know last time got the iPhone C?
iPhone
5C!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that kind.
A lot of colours one.
And they don't have it in the largest storage option which is 512 gig.
The screen is bigger than the Xs though.
It has the longest battery life but it has a single rear camera.
So, a lot of people are talking about how like this is the first time that the budget model is so outstanding.
Yeah, like it's such a close fight with the alternative.
Wait, are we all iPhone users?
Yes.
Oh my God.
But why won't you all use Android?
I tried Android.
For me right, my only consideration right now is price and storage space.
In recent launches, whenever they launch right, there will be a budget option.
And then there will be like the premium option which is just two to three hundred dollars difference.
So, if you have to buy -
Let's say, that is the year you can change,
will ya'll go for the 5C equivalent?
I would get the latest and greatest
which will be the big one ah.
Xs Max.
I would prefer you get a phone like that.
After that, you don't have to change for...
long because it's more or less future-proof.
Especially because right,
you already charge such a high premuim for the budget version also.
But in this case, the Xr, it has a 6.1 inch screen which is like bigger than the Xs.
No, but I also never ever get the big phones because I just don't think phones should be big.
Why?
It's very awkward and uncomfortable.
If you want something big right, get the iPad.
But okay ah because I think I like this size leh.
Very easy to watch videos.
It's quite interesting because our generation right,
we experience a time when technology, for phones right, the smaller, the better.
Yeah.
Then suddenly, we go back the other way. The bigger, the better.
Yeah.
No lah but I think the only reason why people still use iPhone right, is because of the camera.
Because right, really cannot compare to like Samsung, this kind.
Actually, Google Pixel right, when they use the camera right,
supposedly, it's supposed to be very high quality right,
so if you take a photo, I think it's very good quality
But then once you upload it to different apps and platforms right, they downgrade the quality
because of some Android software thing.
Like you know when you use Instagram, you can tell who is Samsung user and who is an iPhone user.
I think Apple, their unique selling point that people always keep coming back no matter how expensive is the
user experience that they provide on your phones lah.
So, it's like everything feels like you can trust it to be seamless and easy to use.
It's very intuitive because you cannot customise as much but it's very easy.
When I watch the Youtube video on the iPhone right,
a lot of people in the comments section were damn angry about the price.
Like especially the price lah.
They said 'r' stands for ripoff.
Because the price different is not much right, might as well pay for the one with more specs since you are already spending such a large sum of money.
It's like there's no clear line between the premium and inferior option here because it depends on what you want, what you prioritise.
I think they're very smart for making the price point very like
different enough right, for you to think about what you want.
You know what I think it is?
What?
I think it's leftover parts from the failure of last year's launch.
That they put into the Xr.
Illuminati confirmed.
I'm just really surprise there's a 512BG internal storage.
But that's going to cause you another 500 bucks.
No, no, but the 512GB is like the equivalent of a Macbook Pro eh.
Then you realise that actually this phone right, has gone beyond being a phone
and charging a certain price for it right,
is kind of justifiable.
But don't you realise that like our allegiance to phone brands has kept us enslaved.
It's like they do 64GB, 256GB, whatever, we also gonna buy.
Just buy.
Take my money.
We talk so much. After this episode, maybe six months later, your phone spoiled, you also just buy the 256GB.
So, that was inconclusive, we are going to move on.
One, two, three!
Haiya!
Huh?
That's one minute,
see you tomorrow!
Yas daily.
Yas daily.
Yas!
Fauzi's instagram.
Yas!
Yas queen!
So recently, as all of you would know, NAS Daily came over to Singapore.
Yay!
Made a bunch of videos gushing about everything - our airport, our passport, our NEWater.
Even Pulau Semakau.
All around presented Singapore as like - not a perfect country but a country that is great at solving problems.
I think this is a very key theme of this entire argument
because a lot of people are quite unhappy with the fact that he portrayed Singapore as like a perfect country.
Bu they don't really realise that what he's saying is that there are a lot of problems but we managed to solve these problems within 53 years.
Yeap!
Singaporeans are enraged because they're like,
"Wah confirm it's the government pay you one!"
Yeah, that's the thing, whenever someone so much as says a positive thing about NS, about PAP, about SMRT,
it feels like the word 'propaganda' is being used very loosely.
Yeah.
Honestly, some things, information he's shared, I even don't know.
So like
I even don't know.
I even don't know.
You don't know even.
My English not -
Some of the things he presented right...
some of them I didn't even know about.
Like how Singapore clears its trash.
Honestly, I didn't know it was put into the water.
It didn't occur to me.
And we don't how the place really looks like or whatever.
That's the thing. It's a restricted-access place.
Yeah.
So, if you don't know, the rest of Singapore, more so don't know, right?
So, in a way, it's very informative, I find.
But
I know a lot of people have issues with the parking video.
Yeah, that was the one where I first heard people making noise already.
He's like our country's hype man.
Ya sia!
The hype man we didn't ask for nor deserve.
I think the end message for him is that he's a very good storyteller and he likes to spread positivity.
Correct.
Yeah, so everything has to have a strong positive spin on it.
That's just his style.
So, I think a lot of people have to take note of this before
just immediately jumping into the content.
The moment they see PM Lee's face in one of the videos right,
That was the last straw already.
I think he has built such a reputation right, that brands ask him "Can we work together?"
Then like even if it's sponsored right, I don't see the problem.
Yeah, he's still spreading a positive message. It's still informative
and he also need to earn money, what!
Yeah lah.
So that's the thing, then there were some netizens right, there was one netizen, in particular.
He went to write this entire thing about like "Okay, since you like our country so much right, let's invite you to walk the talk and take up citizenship."
One, buy a resale flat with half the lease left.
So it's all very condescending.
Two, serve National Service.
Three, contribute 37% of your salary to CPF.
Four,
go to polyclinics.
Five, take MRT train every morning and evening during peak hours.
What the hell?
I just want to like roll my eyes ten times.
Oh my God.
Ugh!
Why?
All the things that he has said right, is like...
every Straites Times comments section ever.
People need to take a step back and see what we have to appreciate from the video,
instead of nitpicking on the things he didn't cover.
No, the thing is that all these arguments right, as with most other arguments, they come from a very microscopic perspective of the world.
Okay, so in response to this mini listicle that this netizen has written -
Okay, this one, I feel a bit sad because I feel that now his impressions of Singaporeans are all like that already.
Right?
Because we don't deserve this shit.
I know right!
He said "Why doesn't everyone here try to live in the Middle East for a little bit?"
Try sleeping one night with rockets falling near your village and you can't sleep because of sirens.
Try living in a state of war with all your neighbours.
Try having your options in your country limited simply because of how you were born (non Jew).
Try living in a place with 40% less of your current GDP per capita.
And then he said, "Now, I'm in China, making the same type of videos I made for Singapore, I'd happily take you along to see how life looks like outside your bubble.
But to be honest, I would never hire you because I don't work well with crybabies."
And then do you know that this warranted -
this brought on another onslaught of nasty comments.
Just because Singaporeans have our own opinion, wah we complain about our own complain so -
He got his own opinion that's why he do his own video, right? Walao!
I think there was an article that come out already then still got ask him to (beep) off from our country.
Oh my God!
He's not even attacking anything.
So, the thing about it is that there are always this very small majority online right, that make a lot of noise about things that are
issues but close to non-issues and diminish positivity.
It feels like they sound very entitled.
No, then don't you think it's funny because last time, the sentiment used to be like
you cannot (beep) about my country, only I can.
But now it's like, you cannot say good things about my country.
Because you never raise the bad things about our country so you wouldn't understand it.
This is only in Singapore, frankly.
No lah, I don't know whether it's only in Singapore lah.
I think like online right,
you have to deal with people like that.
And just because he's a big influencer or whatever it is, they're just hating on him for -
Yeah, because you're a big superstar or whatever, you can say all these positive things but you don't actually understand the real life.
But at the same time right, it's called 'Marketing' and it's called 'Social Media'.
Like you know you put this kind of video so that people would click, right?
And like -
You watch the video, right?
Plus, he put 'almost'.
Right?
You watch the video, right? So then -
But like the thing about it is that like
aren't you proud that somebody from somewhere else is singing praises about our country regardless of whether it's -
No, you must understand that these people live in like he summed it up already.
These people are all living in a bubble.
Yeah.
Like him right, he's traveled the world, he's seen so much more than you.
His videos are made from a global perspective also.
He's comparing you across the world.
Yeah.
But Singaporeans don't know that.
They don't understand that.
They don't see that.
They don't see the big picture.
So, it's like you argue with an idiot.
You bring yourself down to that level.
I feel super bad that he's leaving Singapore with such a bad taste in his mouth.
I think that it reflects
terribly on us.
I think the whole thing's about internet culture and how it's a lot easier to say something negative than say something positive online also.
Nas, if you're watching this video, we apologise, these people online don't represent
I don't know whether they represent a majority of Singaporeans but
we are not them!
We support content creation.
We look forward to future collaborations.
Yours sincerely.
The moral of the story is
if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Exactly. Agreed.
Go make a positive difference ah!
Stop being self-entitled lah.
